I'll get it all together here in the next few days. But for today, all you get is jokes. Sorry!
I know y'all have all tuned in to read the whole story of my big trail ride out to San Angelo, TX, and to get my "amazing bitchin'" picks (we're lookin' at you, Staci) for Saturday's College Football Games. But I really don't care if LSU loses to Auburn, or if Kansas trounces Oklahoma, or even if William & Mary loses the big homecoming match-up agin' James Madison.
I just ain't got it in me... So...
A cowboy, who just moved to Wyoming from Texas, walks into a bar and orders three mugs of Coors. He sits in the back of the room, drinking a sip out of each one in turn. When he finishes them, he comes back to the bar and orders three more.
The bartender approaches and tells the cowboy, 'You know, a mug goes flat after I draw it. It would taste better if you bought one at a time.'
The cowboy replies, 'Well, you see, I have two brothers. One is in Arizona, the other is in Colorado. When we all left our home in Texas, we promised that we'd drink this way to remember the days when we drank together. So I'm drinking one beer for each of my brothers and one for myself."
The bartender admits that this is a nice custom, and leaves it there.
The cowboy becomes a regular in the bar, and always drinks the same way. He orders three mugs and drinks them in turn.
One day, he comes in and only orders two mugs. All the regulars take notice and fall silent. When he comes back to the bar for the second round, the bartender says, "I don't want to intrude on your grief, but I wanted to offer my condolences on your loss."
The cowboy looks quite puzzled for a moment, then a light dawns in his eyes and he laughs.
"Oh, no, everybody's just fine," he explains, "It's just that my wife and I joined the Baptist Church and I had to quit drinking."
"Hasn't affected my brothers though."
Nyuk! Welcome back, Andy, and please forgive me if I don't believe your claim of not caring if LSU loses tomorrow. :)
ReplyDeleteHeck, Andy, I care a little bit if the Sooners lose ANOTHER one, but if they have to lose, I want them to get it out of their collective systems THIS YEAR. Like I said, the pressure's off now!
ReplyDeleteBut I still want Florida to lose a game. And Texas to lose a game. And you heard it here first, I'm for those big elephants to win the whole thing.
Thanks Dadman. It's good to be home. I wish everybody was here with me. But...well, you know...
ReplyDeleteStaci, the way things look right now, the Elephant has an inside track on the whole thing. But things can change suddenly...I think this season (and the last election) has taught us all that lesson, if we didn't already know it.
Florida will lose one game. It will likely be in Atlanta when Tim faces off against Saint Nick.
Dadman, I truly do not care if LSU loses to Auburn. Okay, I'm a big fat liar. Of course I care. But it seems pretty trivial tonight.
This house is too "empty." And, it won't be any less empty at kickoff. Maybe I'll go watch with Daddy.
Empty houses are definitely no fun. My (nearly) empty house has been more of a challenge to my sanity than I ever would have guessed it would be...
